Theatre Review – Primary Trust (Crows’ Theatre & the Grand Theatre)
A tender Pulitzer winning play that follows an ordinary man in his fight to find personal courage. Sorrow laced with charm.

Theatre Review – Take Rimbaud (The Howland Company with Buddies in Bad Times Theatre)
An extraordinary play jammed packed with ideas that is guaranteed to captivate an audience for one hour and 45 minutes without an intermission.
Soulpepper/The Comeuppance
Not surprisingly, another troubling play from American provocateur Branden Jacobs-Jenkins.
An Ex Machina Production presented by Canadian Stage/The Far Side of the Moon
That Robert LePage is a technological visionary there is no doubt, but where is the emotional dramatic arc?
Canadian Stage/ Slave Play
Jeremy O. Harris’ Slave Play is controversial, intriguing and perhaps a tad irritating, just as the gadfly Black gay activist Playwright intended. When you set out deliberately to make people feel uncomfortable, expect a strong reaction back. Think about the fascination of watching a train wreck, only theatrically.
